Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Indeed, the rest of the film could probably best be described as very mediocre. You wouldn't have thought a film could be very mediocre. It should be either good or bad. But that's the best description.

The film isn't boring, or more implausible that normal (and gets a big pass because, well, it's got to be based on Journey to the Centre of the Earth). But nothing much happens. No plot, no interesting characters, no tension. Dinosaurs, yes, but no tension.

Marginal competence

Have exhibited marginal competence, yay!
